Superficial

New guys, new guys, everywhere. Another new hire. That’s four in six weeks. The new FA’s outnumber the veterans 4:3, unless you count me and the other senior, Betty, because we really just started and aren’t much more than FA’s with new titles. Then it’s 5:4 in favor of the old guys.

Too much change, I tell you. The group behind us lost a manager and cute girl within a week. The Opi&Anthony fan is taking over, and the stupid guy is taking cute girl’s cube. The pretty girl is switching jobs and will be on the other end of the floor from now on, so I won’t be working with her day-to-day anymore, and the new guy taking over her job is a moron. I’m not kidding, he talks to his plants. No, he doesn’t talk to them, he converses with them. He carries on conversations with his plants. Out loud. Weirdo.

This is insane. I’m sure it’s not a big deal. Just my brain slowly getting back into work mode. Just gotta deal with it I guess. After all, I can’t quit, then I’d never be able to afford a Big Drive to Milwaukee.

i know you just threw in that part about the Big Drive just to get me to comment about how it should be the Big Detour.

Just because i can see THROUGH your ploy doesn't mean i will not ACT ACCORDINGLY.

p.s. i don't know if i should reveal this or not but what the hell. i totally talk to my plants. Remember Bo Bo the Aloe? aka Biggest Aloe Grown in a Dormitory Ever Just Because Adina Gave it Lots of Word Love? That's right. I have Bo Bo the Offspring Aloe in my new apt and it, too, is giant. As well as my oregano, parsley, and basil. Whoo don't get me started on the size of my basil.
